Who can participate in Fed Challenge?
Any high school located within the District boundaries of a participating Federal Reserve Bank may register a team composed of three to five students. The team may designate an alternate who would replace a team member who cannot compete. While many participants have some background in economics or business, members of successful teams need not be enrolled in an economics course. (For example, after-school clubs that focus on economics also have been involved). How much time will Fed Challenge take? Each team prepares for competition a bit differently. To have a complete and exciting presentation, students should do research and be comfortable with the material. For some, this may require meetings before or after school; for others class time will work better. The method and time spent in preparation are entirely up to the team, but as students become familiar with the material through practice, their presentation and comfort level will improve.
